An orthotist and
a prosthetist design, make, and fit appliances for body deformities and
missing limbs following the prescription of a physician. These appliances
include artificial arms and legs, neck, back and leg braces, and surgical
supports.

An orthotist
specializes in planning, making, and fitting orthopedic braces and similar
devices such as surgical supports and corrective shoes; these are used to
support weakened body parts or to correct physical defects.

A prosthetist
specializes in planning, making, and fitting artificial limbs. The
orthotist and prosthetist follow basically the same procedures in their
work although each deals with different abnormalities, designs, and
patients.

At Combined Medical
Services Group and Pediatric Orthotic & Prosthetic Services, we also
specialize in ocular prosthetics and maxillofacial restorations, as well
as correcting positional
plagiocephaly in infants.
